WELCOME TO 

WALLINGTON COUNTY GRAMMAR SCHOOL 

What makes us great is that, at our core, we care very deeply about our students, both past and present. We are renowned for the quality of our pastoral work, warmly supporting our students to become happy, confident individuals equipped with the qualifications, skills and attributes to succeed in a globalised world. This was recently recognised by Ofsted who confirmed that we are an ‘outstanding’ school. They stated that, since the last inspection, the Headmaster has ‘led a highly committed and skilled team in continuing to drive improvements in teaching and learning. Consequently, pupils at this School are confident and successful learners. Teachers here are leaders of learning. They benefit from highly effective and individualised training which improves pupils’ learning. Pupils recognise that teachers go the extra mile to help them achieve their lofty ambitions’. If these words describe you and the type of School, you wish to work in then please apply for this post. 

Being a boys’ selective school founded in 1927 that welcomes girls into the Sixth Form, we blend the best of tradition with innovation to engage and inspire our students to be the very best they can be. Because of this our students regularly attain within the top 2% of state schools in the country at GCSE and A Level and go on to gain places at the world’s top universities. This success is born from our core values of Commitment, Compassion, Courage and Creativity. We believe that we should always show compassion to others, making decisions without self-interest and supporting all those in our community to be happy and successful. We must have courage, never being afraid of failure but embracing it to learn from our mistakes and better ourselves.  We are committed, not just to reaching academic success but to enriching ourselves as scholars, sportsmen and women, artists, musicians, actors, debaters and anything else we set our minds to. Finally, we are creative, always being willing to consider different solutions and think deeply about the challenges we face as individuals and as a society.

We tailor our curriculum to ensure students are nurtured as well-rounded individuals, excelling in core subjects like mathematics, English and the sciences but who are also deeply knowledgeable about the arts and humanities. Our co-curriculum further enhances our students’ character, forging outstanding sportsmen through our superb coaching programme, and creating individuals who are passionate about representing their club or society, house, year group and school. Above all, we celebrate our incredible students through a culture of praise and recognition to make sure they leave us with the conviction that they can achieve anything they put their minds to.
